Lookbook: Winter Blues

It's been one of those crazy weeks where I just have too much to do and no time to even think about putting together an outfit and although I took this lookbook back in February, this outfit, a blouse tucked into jeans and a cross body bag has been my go to outfit as of late.

What I'm Wearing

Blouse: Madewell

Jeans: Madewell

Shoes: Christian Louboutin

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

Necklace: Vintage Dior

New photo layouts! Aren't they fun?

We went car shopping on Monday and it was such an ordeal! We ended up walking away because the dealer wouldn't match what we wanted. We went back and forth and they came back with new numbers two times and then we just said No. We come home to a message from them saying "Oh, actually, we worked our numbers and we're able to come down to your number, blah, blah, blah." Well too bad buddy, I'm gonna let you sweat it out for a few days before I call you back. Ugh. The whole process of getting a new car is such a headache. You should have seen the look on their faces when we said no and walked away, they were shocked, I truly think they thought they had us. I'm certainly glad that buying cars is the only thing you have to play these kind of games with in order to buy something.

You know I love my skinny jeans but I'm working the flares a bit more into my wardrobe. Going to go for these Bell Bottom jeans next! Not sure if I'm ready for that much flare but will see how they look on me.

I really like the new colorblock MAC clutch as well. I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to a clutch without a strap yet as I can't imagine holding my bag in my hand all day long but I was at Nordstrom the other day and looked at this Yves Saint Laurent 'Belle de Jour Clutch which I really liked. It is perfect for a night out but I've had so many friends that go out with clutches and as the night goes on, the clutch gets forgotten on a table or seat and then we spend the rest of the night trying to find it! But I do love the look of a clutch even for the day so, maybe... still deciding. What do you think of clutches?

Great outfit post Tiffany! love your blouse and bag (the blue is beautiful!)!!!ohlala..i like that rebecca Minkoff clutch too! i've never heard of the brand but so far,me likey! i like clutches too but dont enjoy usin them cuz as u said, i cant imagine holdin a it all day! but i tend to use clutches for weddings or clubbing.Oh yeah , those tiff blue nail polish color are to die for... i'm definitely gonna hunt that down:)

ARghhh....i've been in a style rut lately, i just feel like watever i wear aint right these days. Do you ever have those days and if so, what to do? I guess im just rantin over here,lol.

Anyway, good luck with the car buying, and its good to take your time with these things. Afterall, its not like you're going to a supermarket to buy some groceries right? ;)

Gosh i just realized how long my comment is,lol. Anyway, hope you're off to a fab weekend:)

AHHHH! I am really torn between the Rebecca Minkoff Colorblock (blue/ivory) clutch or the satchel - I am inclined to get "full sized" bags all the time but I feel like the clutch would be a change of pace and I could still fit a lot in it - I am loving yours. That's one point for the clutch!

omg, so in love with that purse!! and what beautiful blue nail polish too. great look and you always have the most amazing pictures (i was actually almost ready to buy the Canon 5D Mark II after always ogling over your pictures, but then i heard that the Mark III is coming out this year, so i'm waiting... :)

How pretty!! I just stumble upon your blog a couple of days ago and LOVE it!! :) You should totally do a face of the day (FOTD) video or segment on your blog/youtube channel one of these days. Also, I am in love with the BCBG skirt that you have on as part of your logo. It has the perfect length. I haven't found anything remotely similar. :( Any suggestions?

Tiffany your Mac clutch is such a gorgeous color! I heart your blouse as well! And I just have to tell you I'm so in love with the jewelryon your wrist!

Omg the thing is I've never really been into clutches for the exact reason of the fear of losing it plus it's such a nightmare when you have to go to the little girls room hahahaha but I LOVE the YSL belle du jour clutch unfortunately I hopped on the bandwagon to late... They had a really gorgeous purple one awhile back and a red one but i don't like the current color which is mustard yellow ugh.

@cinzee I completely have those weeks/days, so I know how you feel! The thing that helps me is to flip through my inspiration book (I keep a book full of magazine/catalog clippings of looks that I love) and that helps with giving me some ideas of how to put outfits together!

@kileen if you're not going to use it professionally, the mark II might be a better buy for you and save up your money for a better lens as lenses always make the biggest difference in pictures! But yay if you do end up getting the mark III! I'm curious to see what the differences will be.

@jennifer thanks Jennifer! I've gotten so many makeup requests so I might start adding FOTD to my blog. That BCBG skirt is still one of my faves! I haven't found something similar but if I do I'll post it here or maybe I'll do a search for skirts and do a full skirt post! :)

I really like the new photo layout - so cute! And grrrrr... I wish we had Madewell (/J. Crew) in Canada. I always love all your Madewell stuff; it would be nice to actually try things on in person first!
